Healthcare franchise networks · CRM

Keep partner enquiries and patient appointments in systems that do not mix.

A CRM for a healthcare franchise network is the record of every partner enquiry and every patient enquiry, who handled it and what happens next. GullySales sets up the partner pipeline and the enquiry log, and keeps clinical records out of it.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What CRM means

A CRM is the record where every enquiry, call and quote is kept against a customer, replacing separate notebooks, spreadsheets and memory. GullySales sets up or cleans an existing CRM and reports from it by enquiry outcome rather than by activity logged.

For healthcare franchise networks

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “A partner pipeline runs over months”

    A clinician or investor weighs the decision, visits a centre, talks to current partners and revisits the numbers. Without a pipeline that holds each person's stage, the development manager relies on memory and the cooling lead goes unnoticed.

  • “Patient enquiries need a different record”

    A patient enquiry is a name, a phone number, a reason for calling and a next step. It is a short record, handled by a centre desk, and it must stay apart from clinical notes that belong in the centre's own system.

  • “Consent decides what the CRM may hold”

    A phone number given to book an appointment does not automatically allow marketing messages. The CRM needs a field for what the person agreed to, and reminders go only to those who agreed.

  • “Head office needs a view across centres”

    Without one shared enquiry log, head office hears about a drop in bookings from a franchisee's complaint. A network-level view of calls, bookings and kept appointments shows which centre is losing callers.

What we do

What we deliver for healthcare franchise networks.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. A partner pipeline with stages

    Stages from first enquiry to signed agreement and centre opening, with an owner and a next step on each record.

    Result: A pipeline view of every partner enquiry.

  2. A patient enquiry log per centre

    A short record for each call or message, with the reason, the booking outcome and the source.

    Result: A log each centre desk can fill in.

  3. A consent field and a rule for its use

    A recorded permission for reminders and messages, and a rule that sends only to those who agreed.

    Result: A consent column on every record.

  4. A clinical data boundary

    A written line between what the CRM holds and what stays in the centre's clinical system.

    Result: A one-page boundary your adviser has read.

  5. A network summary view

    Calls, bookings and kept appointments by centre, drawn from the logs.

    Result: One summary page for head office.

How the result is measured

  • Enquiries logged in the CRM
  • Data completeness
  • Reports generated from CRM data

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Fields worth keeping

The fields a clinic network keeps for partner enquiries and patient bookings.

Partner stage
Enquiry, call, centre visit, terms shared or agreement. The development manager sets it, and it shows which partners have gone quiet.
Next step and owner
A named person and a step, set by whoever last spoke to the partner. No record stays without one.
Consent to reminders
Ticked by the front desk with the date and the channel the patient agreed to. Reminders go only where this is recorded.
Centre and speciality of the booking
Filled at booking so head office can read bookings and kept appointments by centre without opening any clinical file.
Reason for calling, as the patient said it
Back pain, tooth ache or eye check. Kept in the patient's words and free of diagnosis.
Appointment kept or missed
Marked by the desk after the slot, so the missed-appointment routine and the network summary draw from the same record.

Who it is for

This is written for these healthcare franchise networks.

  • Multi-speciality polyclinic networks
  • Dental clinic franchise chains
  • Eye care and optical clinic networks
  • Physiotherapy and rehabilitation clinic brands
  • Skin, hair and aesthetic clinic networks
  • Women's health and fertility centre networks
  • Dialysis, day-care and ambulatory centre brands
  • Ayurveda and wellness clinic networks

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • Centres already hold patient files in a clinical system, and nobody has drawn a line between those and the CRM.
  • No one at head office will read the network summary, so the fields would be filled and left unread.
  • Partner volume is so small that a shared sheet with an owner column does the same job without a system.

How it works

How the CRM work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  1. 1

    Map the sales process

    We sit with the people who sell and write down how a deal moves from enquiry to payment, including where it stalls.

  2. 2

    Agree stages, fields and owners

    Each stage gets a name your team already uses and a proof that the deal has left it. We agree which fields are required at which stage, and who may change what.

  3. 3

    Build on a copy

    Pipeline, fields and views are built on a trial copy where the CRM offers one, or in a separate pipeline where the plan allows. Live work stays untouched.

  4. 4

    Connect channels, then switch on automations

    Channels are connected first. Each automation is then switched on separately, so a misfiring rule is easy to find.

  5. 5

    Test with real deals

    The people who will use the CRM run open deals through it. Gaps are fixed before the whole team switches over.

  6. 6

    Switch over and trim

    Once real use shows which fields stay empty and which stages nobody uses, those are cut and the handover record is updated.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales management. A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3 · you are here

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Will the CRM hold patient medical records?
No. It holds contact and enquiry details only. Clinical records stay in each centre's own system under your adviser's guidance.
Which CRM should a network use?
One the front desks and the development team will use daily. We work with tools in ordinary use in India, and we pick on how your people work, not on a feature list.
Will the CRM hold patient medical records?
No. Clinical notes stay in the centre's own clinical system, where the doctor controls them. The CRM holds the booking, the reason for calling and consent. Agree that boundary in writing with your adviser, since health data carries stricter care.
How long should an enquiry record stay in the system?
Keep a record while the person is an active partner or patient, and delete it when they ask or the purpose has ended. Data protection rules apply to personal information. Ask your adviser to set the retention rule for patients and for partners separately.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
